Add PRE_BUILD step to find and chmod +x all .sh files before building. DKMS may not preserve file permissions when copying source to the build directory, causing build failures on some systems. Fixes NVIDIA#1258

Problem
Fixes #1258
DKMS build fails during kernel updates because
.shscripts in the build directory lack executable permissions (0644instead of0755).Solution
Add
PRE_BUILDstep tokernel-open/dkms.confthat finds andchmod +xall.shfiles before building. Usesfindinstead of hardcoded globs to safely handle nested directory structures without glob expansion errors.Testing
Syntax verified locally. Full build validation relies on Debian 13 + DKMS environment (reporter's setup).
